Early this week we made visit
to 1.-THE Creamery and Poultry
packing establishment of W. J.
Wilkes. We found everybody busy
but the genial proprietor gener-
ously gave few minutes to an in
terview. Replying to a remark
that poultry had not commanded
fair prisces this season, Mr..
Wilkes said that, the market had
been greatly depressed, but was
improving, and owing to better
facilities for shipping and the state
of the weather he would, beginning
with Thursday of this week,
advance prices and would pay for
Turkeys 4c per h.; for good chick
ems 81 per h.; for ducks, full
feathered; 81 per ID, geese full
feathersd; S2.75 per doz. for
old ROSTERS; $1.20 per doz. The
above prices will be paid in cash
for poultry delivered at the
Creamery. Mr.. Wilkes will also
furnish us the annual statement of
his business for publication in our
next issue.

give details Of a disaster oceasoned By

Tho Five Dead Anarchists Placed in Their
Final Resting Place.
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-The four anarchists
who were hanged-August Spies, A. R.
Parsons, Adolph Fischer and George
Engel- and Louis Lingg, who
cheated the galows by committing sui
eide the day before-were placed in their
final resting place in Waldheim
cemetery Sunday. The collins were
taken from the vault and carried to the
spot where the expectant crowd was a.
assembled. The undertakers removed
the lids from the collins at the same time
the chief mourners took their places.
Among the latter were Chris and Ferdi.
nand Spies. with their sister Gretchen
and their aged mother; Nina Van Zandt
with her father; Elsa Friedel, "Lingg's
girl;" Mrs. Fischer, with her daughters;
Mrs. Engel, and close to her wa Mrs.
Schwub, whose husband is in the peni-
Tertiary. All Of the women were dressed
in deep mourning. Nina Van Zandt
was a study. Not a sign of emo
ton appeared on her features.
at this time was Gretchen Spies.
The grave which had been prepared t.
receive the remains Of the Ave anarchists
had been dug 100 feet north of where the
ceremonies took place. At the bot
tom Of the receptacle is a block Of granite
on which rests a bed of cement. Granite
blocks are the walls. and at the top are
two blocks Of granite at least a foot thick.
This stone-encased grave was made to fit
exactly five pine boxes. in which the five
caskets were quickly placed. The re-
mains were carried down the incline, and
the sexton and his assistants as quickly
placed them in position. Spies lies to the
west, his head to the north, and beside
him lie in order Fischer, Parsons, Engel
and Iingg
The grave-diggers, with the help Of a
derrick, then began to place the big
granite cap-stone in position. The cap
stone was lowered, cement was spread
over it, and the crowd walked quickly
o. of the cemetery, leaving the defense
committee to see that the grave was
properly filled with earth. The features
Of all the dead were what is called life
like-that is the embalming process had
been q success, and the counterfeit pink
flush Of life was OH the cheeks. Not a
trace Of decomposition was to be seen.

Readers.

ST. PACL, Dec. N.-Judge Kelly has
filed an important decision regarding the
designation Of the official paper Of the
city Of st. Paul. For several years the
Globe has been considered the Official
paper and has published all assessment
notices. In u case of the City Of st. Paul
for Judgment against certain prop
erty the defendant set up as
his defense that no legal publication of
the assessment had appeared. In looking
up the ordinance it is discovered that It
designates the ''St. Paul Globe" as the
official paper. The Judge refused
the application for judgment on the
ground that the Globe company pub
fishes three papers, the est. Paul Daily
Globe" the Est. Paul Tri-weekly Globe"
the Est. Paul Weekly Globe" none OF
which come under the ordinance men
toned. The effect of this decision is to
annul all assessments for 1885 and 1887,
and by the law the board Of public works
must go or and make all the assessments
over again.
